1.1.0 - 2026-01-10

Colorized the main menu avatar by loading saved clothing entries, replaying their colorized layers/accessories, and populating ClothingUtility with the curated palette or extracted live data.
Captured live clothing colors whenever leaving the menu scene so updated palettes persist between sessions.
Added embedded default clothing color data and serialization models to support reading/writing clothing save data and palettes.
Implemented registry/resource fallbacks and ItemDefinition mapping to resolve clothing definitions when saves reference items missing from the registry.
Added IL2CPP build support for PlayerClothing-based application of saved outfits (prevents AvatarSettings crashes) and referenced Il2CppFishNet runtime where required.
Introduced utility helpers for menu child lookups and centralized continue popup error handling.

Optimized clothing load pipeline: pooled/cached clothing JSON parsing, in-place prompt pruning, and single-attach menu hooks.
Avoided duplicate main menu rig LoadStuff execution by tracking rigs per scene and resetting between scene loads.
Streamlined clothing data IO and caching: hash-checked color data to skip reloads/writes, cached embedded palettes, and seeded IL2CPP color data before use.
Refactored clothing handling into smaller services and cached Mono registry lookups to improve outfit loading reliability across Mono and IL2CPP builds.
Reduced duplicate ClothingUtility seeding and log noise during menu load.
Tidied scene/menu setup helpers without changing user-facing behavior.

Prevented IL2CPP crashes when applying clothing by routing through PlayerClothing instances and pre-seeding ClothingUtility colors.
Improved resilience when registry entries are missing definitions by falling back to register/resource definitions or mapping ItemDefinitions to avatar assets.

Updated the continue flow to prefer the new LoadManager.StartGame overload and gracefully fall back to the legacy signature when it is missing (e.g. on older game builds).
Added logging and a user-facing popup when continuing the last played game fails, instead of failing silently.

Initial release of Honest Main Menu.
Introduced a true "Continue" button that directly loads the most recent game session.
Repurposed the game's original "Continue" button to function as a "Load Game" button, including a label change to "Load Game".
Updated the title of the save selection screen (accessed via the new "Load Game" button) from "Continue" to "Load Game" for clarity.
Corrected the main menu's back button UI prompt by removing the misleading "RMB" (Right Mouse Button) indicator, as only the Escape key is functional here.
Implemented a Harmony patch (Patches.SceneManagerLoadScenePatch) for SceneManager.LoadScene to prevent the "Menu" scene (and others) from loading multiple times consecutively, addressing issues observed on startup and when returning to the main menu from a game session.
Provided dual build support for both IL2CPP and Mono versions of the game.
Configured buttons to be interactable only if save games exist.
